Bitcoin Dips to $112K Today Amid FOMC-Driven Volatility

Jakarta, Pintu News – As of October 28, Bitcoin (BTC) broke through the $116,000 level after the opening of Wall Street markets on Tuesday, in line with the crypto market’s strong October resurgence – a trend that the community often refers to as “Uptober”.

Then, how is the current Bitcoin price movement?

Bitcoin Price Drops 1.08% in 24 Hours

FOMC Meeting Triggers BTC Price Volatility

According to Cointelegraph, in a move that further surprised traders, Bitcoin didn’t even follow its usual pattern of declining ahead of major economic events in the US – in this case, the interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely expected to cut interest rates by 0.25% on Wednesday. Markets are also watching Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s statement for clues on future policy direction during his press conference afterwards.

“So far, Bitcoin is doing well. The price is holding pretty strong and is making a small retest,” said crypto trader, analyst, and entrepreneur Michaël van de Poppe on platform X.

In a separate post, Van de Poppe stated that the inverse correlation between Bitcoin and gold helped drive the price up. Gold prices fell to $3,886 per ounce on the day-the lowest since October 6.

“The fall in gold prices and its consolidation move is a strong bullish signal for risky assets, including altcoins,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, another trader named Killa forecasts the $117,000 level as a local peak ahead of the FOMC announcement, before Bitcoin price is likely to drop back to close the weekend gap on CME Group’s Bitcoin futures market at around $111,000.

“As we can see, the CME gap is not very far, and I think breaking this blue line will be a challenge,” he said.

“However, the chances of returning to the $111,200 level are quite high.”

CME Gap at $111,000 is a Big Threat

Many market views still expect BTC prices to decline before the Fed’s announcement.

BitBull traders pointed out two price levels of concern, $106,000 and $110,000, before the BTC/USD pair moved towards new record highs.

“I still believe that the BTC price peak has not been reached yet, and there is one more big spike left,” he told his followers on the X platform.

As Cointelegraph reports, concerns about the lack of trading volume and technical indicators showing bearish divergence continue to cast doubt on whether this bull market can last – or even set new record highs.
